No matter how diamond-bright your ideas are dancing in your brain, on paper they are earthbound.

I have absolutely no interest in rock and roll. I'm just being David Bowie. Mick Jagger is rock and roll.

I'd be a terrible rock artist, absolutely ghastly.

When you're thinking about something that you don't understand, you have a terrible, uncomfortable feeling called confusion... Now, is the confusion's because we're all some kind of apes that are kind of stupid working against this, trying to figure out how to put the two sticks together to reach the banana and we can't quite make it...
